Around Town

Within walking distance from school is the Delmar Loop, which has many shops, restaurants, art galleries, and bars in addition to a hotel, a movie theatre, and a 24/7 bowling alley.

There are a lot of fun activities, including a lot to do nearby. The Loop is a street within walking distance that has dining, a concert venue, and bars. I would suggest the U. City Grill for tasty Korean food there. Forest Park is one of the largest urban parks and is located just across a street from main campus. Picnics, exercising, going paddle-boating and visiting the free zoo and free art museum are great activities there. I would also suggest attending a St. Louis Symphony Concert or one of several professional sporting events downtown (the school sometimes arranges discounted tickets). Ted Drewes Frozen Custard is another favorite that's a short drive away.

Ultimate frisbee!

There are many intramural sports to take advantage of. Also, there are a lot of clubs and organizations, ranging from anything to breakdancing to theatre.

Located fairly close to campus is the Delmar Loop, a street with dozens of restaurants and stores. Most people go looping with their friends at least once every week, and it is very safe and inviting and fun. Other options are all the campus-sponsored events, or going to Forest Park and the free museums and free zoo.

Personally, I am involved with intramural sports, music classes, and the Compliments Club.

There are an UNBEARABLE amount of activities that you can get involved in... from chess teams, to counseling, to dance marathon teams. The opportunities are truly endless.

I dance and go out. I'm involved in a lot of extracurricular activities, and that makes my experience all the better.

Wash U has many activities on campus, including a cappella, poetry slams, tennis courts, weight rooms, basketball courts, clubs of various kinds, intramural and club sports, and the city of St. Louis, as long as you be careful not to get mixed up in the city's very high crime rate. The Loop is a street near the campus, but it is dangerous at night and it overrated.
